September 2022
Itinerary: Vancouver, Canada
Vancouver was one of the first rough draft itineraries when the pandemic lockdown started as I had planned for us to visit in July 2020. The city and surrounding areas looked so amazing that I knew a trip there would be forthcoming. When my cousin mentioned wanted to visit Banff, we threw it on the calendar for Labor Day weekend 2022 and adding Vancouver to that trip seemed like a great way to close out the Summer Revenge Travel 2022 season. With COVID requirements slipping away, visiting Canada this time was much easier than earlier this year – signs of progress ahead!
Here is how we spent our five days exploring Vancouver!
